Staff had time and were very helpful and informative to lead us to our sale of products required.
All staff within the store of Bensons in Barnstaple were very helpful even the lady who took my initial phone call with the advice I required which was helpful as your store was our nearest and it was an hours drive away.
When we arrived at the store we were assisted in our sale by Connor who helped us with our enquiries, he was helpful , very informative on the products allowed us time to make our choices and we the bought the products we needed.

It is a fabulous much needed mattress
It is a fabulous much needed mattress, just gutted if I had waited another month I would have had 25% off, didn’t know about their January sale. I could have really used that £250. Mattress, ordering and delivery all easy. Date in December is approximate
